The artists we focus on are those who are famous, well known, and those to whom we are a part of the fan base for. The artists that deserve recognition are those who haven't been signed, who don't hear their own voice on the radio, and who strive to be known. These cover artists need the press, which is exactly what I'm going to give them.

Sam Tsui & Kurt Schneider
Sam Tsui, the Chinese American Youtbe sensation, is slowly starting to get noticed. The 21 year old produces music videos and covers of popular songs with his friend/accompanist Kurt Schneider. The two grew living a street away from each other and always displayed an interest in music. Their music collaborations began in high school with an electronic keyboard and Tsui's vocals, afer which continued into partnership at Yale University where they both attend for music. The dynamic duo covered nearly 70 hit songs and have also released two of their originals to their Youtube fans and on iTunes. It's rumored that Tsui will soon be guest appearing on the Fox hit Comedy Glee later this spring, "hopefully launching our fame," according to Tsui. I personally find them very talented and a pleasure to listen to. I have all of their music and I am a subscriber to their youtube channel. They've done hit songs of today from Britney Spears to Taio Cruz and throwbacks from Michael Jackson to John Lenon. The thing i like about Sam the most is that he makes each performance his own, he very rarely copies others vocal trends. I would reccommend Tsui and Schneider to anyone who is tired of the songs on the radio. These two gentleman will take any song that's "getting old" and make it fun again.
Below is the link to their newest original song "Start Again."
